Hypertension is a common and frequent disease in the population, which can cause damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and other important organs of the human body, and thus has attracted much attention. However, although there is a lot of discussion on the mechanism and causes of hypertension, there is no once-and-for-all prevention method. Experts believe that the onset of hypertension is closely related to many bad habits. In addition to genetic and age factors that are beyond people’s control, correcting bad habits is the most important preventive measure.
The incidence of hypertension is closely related to the patient’s occupation Clinical data show that the incidence of hypertension is closely related to the patient’s occupation and work environment. In different occupations and working environments, the incidence of hypertension is significantly different. In the work need to concentrate for a long time, easy to cause mental tension work, is an important factor in inducing hypertension disease. Jobs that require prolonged sitting and little activity at work as well as jobs with prolonged visual and auditory stimulation tend to elevate the probability of hypertension disease. Workers in these positions should pay more attention to the prevention and monitoring of hypertension, timely detection and treatment.
Age and gender surveys of patients show that hypertension is three to four times more common in patients over 40 years of age than in those between 15 and 39. This set of data suggests that the incidence of hypertension rises along with people’s age, and that the likelihood of its development is very high, especially after the age of 40. The difference in incidence between men and women is not significant. Older people should have timely medical check-ups and be treated promptly if hypertension is detected.
Weight and height factors Weight also has a greater impact on the incidence of hypertension, and people who are overweight and obese are more likely to develop high blood pressure. Height does not have a great impact. Reducing the level of obesity in the body is an effective way to prevent the occurrence of hypertension.
Genetic factors Many clinical cases have shown that there is a corresponding relationship between hypertension and genetic factors. Parents with a history of hypertension are much more likely to have children with hypertension than the general population. Therefore, people with a family history of hypertension should pay more attention to related health problems.
Vascular aging As people age, the collagen fibres and collagen proteins in the blood vessels of the body continue to be lost, resulting in a significant decline in the elasticity and toughness of the blood vessels of the body. Caused by the phenomenon of blood vessel function degradation. At this time, the blood fat and cholesterol deposits, resulting in blood vessel walls continue to become thicker, the lumen of the blood vessels become narrower, the elasticity and toughness of the blood vessels decline, the blood flow becomes no longer smooth, the blood to the organs of the delivery becomes difficult. At this time, the body will increase the pressure in the blood to make the blood flow more smoothly, which will easily induce high blood pressure.
Unhealthy habits are one of the most important factors in the development of hypertension. Dietary habits can affect the incidence of hypertension to a great extent. Excessive sodium intake in the daily diet and high cholesterol intake can lead to an increase in blood pressure in the body, increasing the risk of the disease. Long-term heavy drinking, smoking and staying up late can also accelerate the process of atherosclerosis in the arteries, increasing the risk of hypertension.
When people’s mental stress increases, the body automatically secretes hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone. These hormones cause the blood vessels of the body to undergo constriction. The secreted adrenaline is further secreted into aldosterone, which stimulates the body’s blood pressure to rise. When people are subjected to prolonged mood swings, it can also lead to persistent high blood pressure in the body. These conditions undoubtedly increase the risk of inducing hypertension.
Pathways to prevention of high blood pressure
The first step in living a good preventive lifestyle is to maintain a light diet. It is best not to exceed 6 grams of salt intake per day. If there is a family history of high blood pressure, the daily salt intake should be limited to 2 to 3 grams. Pay attention to the structure of your diet to ensure a variety of food intake daily. Diet can be based on cereal food, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits as appropriate to ensure the body’s vitamin intake. Quit smoking and drinking to reduce the harm of bad habits on the body. Moderate exercise, exercise can improve the body’s immunity, can also avoid obesity. Pay attention to emotional stability, try to maintain a stable and calm mood.
Pay attention to the maintenance of blood vessels can be used in the form of nutrient supplementation to strengthen and soften blood vessels. The right amount of nutrient supplementation can slow down the aging rate of the body’s blood vessels and restore the elasticity and toughness of blood vessels. Removing cholesterol and triglycerides deposited in the body’s blood can effectively reduce the incidence of high blood pressure. Supplementation of collagen can enhance the elasticity and soften the blood vessels. Moderate intake of fish oil can stop the formation of adhesions in blood vessels, which can help prevent hypertension and thrombosis-like diseases.
Take antihypertensive medication as prescribed by your doctor Once you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, you need to take medication for the rest of your life. Antihypertensive drugs can quickly stimulate blood vessels to dilate, to achieve the purpose of lowering blood pressure. However, antihypertensive drugs also have many side effects. As the dosage of antihypertensive drugs is increased, the blood vessels will become hardened and thin and brittle. Continued use of antihypertensive drugs in this situation will cause blood vessels to become more fragile and may lead to a series of complications. Therefore, antihypertensive drugs should always be used under the guidance of a doctor and should never be used blindly by oneself. At the same time, patients should undergo regular review and adjust the medication and dosage at the right time and in a timely manner under the guidance of the doctor.
In conclusion, patients with hypertension can adopt life intervention to lower their blood pressure, and adhere to an individualised medication regimen under the guidance of a doctor to better control their condition and reduce drug side effects. Once you find that your body has uncomfortable symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time to receive treatment.
